A past post indicated that versions of MS link.exe could be found in MS
SDK. This linker is apparently critical for converting new COFF to old
COFF before we can finally convert the lib to OMF for Digitalmars tools
(using COFF2OMF).
The most recent MS SDK for XP no longer seems to have the linker.
According to other sources, this linker also can be found in the WIN98
DDK and other versions of the MS DDK. Unfortunately none of the DDK's
are freely available anymore (so far as I could tell).
Does anyone know of any other valid source for the linker?
Thanks,
John

I just got the latest version of DDK and I have the same problem.
Does anyone know where I can get the correct version of Link.EXE?
Thanks!

There is an issue with the coff2omf utility that it fails to generate a
complete 'uuid.lib'.
When you try to link with it you get unresolved symbols, like when
trying to link the 'notebook' sample from wxWindows-2.4.2

My modified version of the Open Watcom linker (which can directly use
Microsoft's COFF libraries) should be fully useable with DMC++. I have just
updated the web page at http://cmeerw.org/prog/owtools/ (and uploaded new
exe-files).
The only thing left to do is to better integrate it into DMC++ (maybe parse
the sc.ini file and provide a modified dmc.exe/sc.exe that can also invoke
wlink instead of DMC's optlink).
bye, Christof

Thanks, I may give it a try. I think I may have seen a reference to
this linker before. Has anybody tried this modified linker with dmc?
Later,

Well if only the IIDs are unknown, you can supply them yourself in your
code, they are documented (or can be found on the net).
